Prevention Services Programs

Differential Response Team

The Differential Response Team links families who are at risk of child abuse or neglect with community-based services. The Differential Response Team operates in conjunction with Child Protective Services by providing voluntary case management and support services to families that do not meet the requirements for court-ordered services. The Differential Response Team is housed at the Adolescent and Family Services office in Bakersfield, the Family Resource Center in Ridgecrest and Lamont Family Resource Center.
